Books stimulate youthful imaginations

Kids really do want to write books. They're inspired by daily events, movies, and things they've seen on various kinds of technology. One boy who is featured in today's Link really is writing a book, and I've read the first two chapters. They are very funny; just like the young author. I told him that I write eBooks for Amazon Kindle and Barnes and Noble Nook, and that he could become an author, too. We discussed plots, and the next thing I knew, he was writing the book, and that made me very glad. You can become an Online author. Look it up!

If I wrote a book I would write an adventure story. Adventures are always a fun type of book to read, and the best are fantasy adventures.

I'm already writing a book. It's called "Jack" and it's about a kid who takes over teaching a second grade class because... (you have to read the book to find out why."

Zak Vale, Grade 7, Jepson

I'd write a book like the "Judy Moody" books, but I would call them "Tooty-Fruity."

I would write a Star Wars book where the good the good guy, Luke, turns bad and is really Darth Vader. The rest of the good guys will still be on the good side.

A book that tells about the world having unlimited money and how that would turn out, is what I would write.

I would write a book about the wind and it would have spiders in it.

I would write a book about a happy world that is clean so that animals can live better. My grandparents' place in the forest is like that. They even have chickens.

A book about how everything outdoors is made of candy would be good to write.

Brenna Watson, Grade 2, Callison

Someone should write a book about how to do a good state report. I did a state report and I think that I could write the book. It would include good projects to do, too.

If I were a character in a book, I would choose to be a sports player. The book would be a biography about my life.

If I could be a character in a book, I would like to be a rancher, because I love horses and I like to ride them. I don't mind doing all the chores you have to do when you own a horse.

Abbey Watson, Grade 6, Callison

I'd write a book about Beauty and the Beast, only in my book, Beauty is turned into a beast. It would be the opposite of the book we know.
